determinants of the health risks posed by asbestos. Asbestos fibers are basically chemically inert‚ do not evaporate‚ dissolve‚ burn‚ or undergo significant reactions with most chemicals. In acid and neutral aqueous media‚ magnesium is lost from the outer brucite layer of chrysotile. Amphibole fibers are more resistant to acid attack and all varieties of asbestos are resistant to attack by alkalis (WHO‚

Experiment 4 Synthesis of Salicylic Acid Introduction Throughout history‚ botanical extracts have been used as medicines. Approximately 30% of all medicines have a plant origin. This number increases to 60% if you consider medicines that at one time were derived from plants‚ but have been synthesized in the laboratory. Salicylic acid is a white crystalline compound that can be isolated from the bark of birch trees. Since it is a valuable substance that can be isolated from nature‚ it is called

This paper is an analysis conducted on Nucleic Acids through a variety of tests specifically‚ Dische‚ Murexide‚ Wheeler-Johnson and Phosphate Tests in order to exemplify structural features of nucleic acids as well as identify the principle involved in each chemical test. Different procedures and different test compounds were applied‚ and results were noted as for changes in colors of precipitates or solutions. For Dische Test‚ light blue was obtained for RNA and dark violet for DNA. For Murexide
